Badoo

I received an e-mail from Badoo saying... You have Badoo Premium!

Congratulations, you have now achieved a special status on Badoo with Badoo Premium subscription!
We have charged 65.99 to your iDeal account.

So I wrote them an e-mail saying that I never gave them permission to do this. This was their reply:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

Since you previously added your payment details to your profile, you were able to purchase Badoo Premium with our one-click method. As a courtesy, we have now removed your payment details from your account to prevent this method being used in the future.

Unfortunately, according to our Terms and Conditions, this type of service is non-refundable.

I called my bank (I live in the Netherlands), they said I can cancel any payment, get my money back from any subscription within 90 days and block their account. And I can do it all by myself online with my bank account.

I hope this helps others with the same problem

The men on bandoo are nothing but sex seekers,many still living at home on there mamas couch.Many have no car,no job,poor credit and prison records.Im a nurse 15 years own house,always was busy so tried badoo.now im dating people in the real world loving it.Ladies be careful lots of scammers from africa will con you for your life saving just say no, and block be smart.

Catered for women. Men get the shaft. You can send hundreds upon hundreds of messages, and get absolutely zero replies. If you want to speak with certain "popular" ladies, you must pay to have priority over free users.

The site encourages women to not reply, by giving them the option to not accept your first message in which they judge you based on your default picture, all by itself. Women don't even view your profile, they don't talk, they put absolutely no effort toward anything except ignoring people. Kind of defeats the purpose, don't ya think?

The site is also ban happy. Say one politically incorrect thing, someone gets butthurt, reports you, and boom, your profile is gone.

F*** this literally WORTHLESS website.

I Downloaded this app for fun about a week ago i think. And i saw that they take one day premium package things. So im like, sure why not ill try it for a day, never tried anything like this before so why not. Sucked pretty bad, as expected. But for 1,99 who cares right. And thats how they get your payment details, and just start stealing money from your account.

These guys think they can end up taking 40 euro's out of my account, without any of my concent. During the whole registration process not once was there a clear notice of a 40 euro extra cost. Why in hell would i pay 40 euro's for one day on some cheesy booty call site. It stated only 1,99 Nothing more.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD! STAY AWAY!

There are so many scammers on this site. I had no idea what I was getting into.
I met a man named William Wilfred who claimes to be a U. S soldier in Kuwait. After sharing my most personal thoughts and even my body to this man I began to really trust, he ended up asking me for money to assist in an emergency leave so he didn't get sent to Syria. He is very good at convincing women he cares about you and wants to come meet. This needs to stop. It can cause real harm to people. I am devastated.

I will try to keep this short and to the point. My ex husband, who was diagnosed with HIV years ago, hooked up with several woman using this app. These women were so desperate they didn't care to get to know him. They talked to him a few times, then that was it. Bang. He NEVER disclosed his status to any of them, and never used protection as far as I know. We lost him to full blown AIDS recently. I would never wish what he had to go through during his last days on my worst enemy. My message is this: please be careful. Get to know the person you are talking to. Care about yourself enough to know that there are better ways to find someone than this discusting hook up app. Thank you for reading this.

This is an ok site, but it is sad that there are so many posing as over seas military men. I have encountered at least 10 already and blocked or reported them all. I feel the need to spread the word because this disgusts me. Having a brother who served, I asked all the right questions they couldn't answer from identifying the unit they are in (from the patches in their pics), and where they are stationed (we do not even have troops in some of these places). Most tell a story about being a widower and/or having a kid and looking for a good girl to love them.

If you're an average man with average looks, and you're 40-plus, you have about as much chance getting a date on Badoo, than you do winning the Lottery every week for a year. It's not going to happen. I am that guy. Average looks and 43 years old. I had a profile on there for three months. I sent messages to average looking women. Some looked at my profile, none messaged back. My photo was also rated 1 out of 5. I don't know what purpose that serves other than to try and cripple the confidence of whose photo it is. I'm thick-skinned so it didn't bother me. But I had this vision of women low rating guys just to make the guys feel hurt. That aside, Badoo just like POF, has a database of anti-social women who don't wanna chat and most certainly don't want to date. They're so shallow, if you're not a hot guy they won't even reply. And this coming from average to below average women. Fat and middle aged. Unbelieavble. A waste of time.

So I know we all need money. But you get cash from ads AND people who you can talk to... I've had my account canceled because I've paid for one month of your service and canceled but you decided to keep billing. Hopefully you and your company will go bankrupt in a bad way. The curse you've placed on us shall fall on you 100 times harder. Badoo shall burn for their scam. Sadly tagged does better. Foxtrot uniform Charley kilo Yankee Oscar uniform! From the bottom of our hard earning pocket badoo.

I will be very honest....I am an old user of Badoo...I started using it about 5 years ago. It was very nice....and i met many women...in fact the love of my life and my future wife is from badoo. Now i don't know what has happened.....it is full of fake profiles...you send 50 messages and nobody replies ??? messages aren't even read. And also after you verify your number and connect to google or facebook...you should have 10 contacts / day. You have them in the first day , after that you are switched back to 5 contacts / day...And of course if you want more....you have to PAY !!

So , I don't recommend badoo...i think it is scam now....and I am sorry to say this since in the past was one of the best....

I remember when I had first joined Badoo after going on an off tinder premium for a long time.
Originally Badoo gave you hundreds of free swipes per day
Now as it has become popular I'm not sure if you even get 50!
And the price is outrageous! I can't imagine anyone paying that much for it tbh.
I have met nice people on there and had relationships, but for such a basic site/app it should not cost that much at all and should give you at least 100 swipes per 12 hours tbh.
And sometimes I watch adds to send someone a crush and somehow it says "you've used up all of your swipes" as if sending someone a crush without paying acts your swipes aswell? They will still earn money from the advert so I don't see why this is an issue?
It is just money grabbing trash like all of the other apps

Could you do a better and proper investigate and review for my my account as I did 4 accounts and been blocked without any consideration. I understand the guidelines and and terms/condition and I am aware that I had never violated the rules. You can check all the conversation and check it your self. I would suggest if someone has been reported you have to investigate thoroughly not blocked straight away. It's not fair and unprofessional. My account verified and photos are genuine.

I would greatly appreciate if you could provide the details for your decision blocking my account with a good reasons. As far as I aware this apps to make friends and connect to the community. It's very frustrating and I can see I'm not the only person who had a complaint about it. Pls make it right!

I get so tired of reading reviews about fake profiles and scammers. That's not badoo's fault, its a free site, jeez. Why are you talking to people outside of your city, red flag, read the profiles, all you need to know is there. Who sends money to people they dont know. Use some common sense. Dating sites have good and bad, if you really want to find someone, stop being lazy and weed through the foolery. You have to do the same thing on paid sites.

Apparently signed up without ever inputting a password so I can't delete my account.
Every photo I upload is somehow tagged as a group photo despite only having me in them.
I can't select my own main profile picture.
I have to connect to facebook for basic information instead of inputting it myself.
Every single aspect of this site is clunky and unusable. It's ridiculously difficult to figure out even the most basic function without running into some kind of an issue.

Dont get why people complain about this site. Sure, it's not as good as some of the lesser known sites like WeJustFit but still, it can get you results if you play things patiently and dont expect to find the woman of your dreams in five minutes. Sure theyre a big company with big advertising budgets but you still have to make an effort. I mean come on, guys, love takes time! In my experience and ive been dating online for a long time now, you get what you put in.
